Ruth Price's Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars:

Ingredients:
2-1/3 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter or margarine
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 cups (12 oz. pkg.) semi sweet chocolate chips, divided into 1-1/2 cups and 1/2 cup
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1-3/4 cups (10 oz. pkg.) toffee bits, divided into 1-1/2 cups and 1/4 cup

Instructions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. 
Grease 9x2x13 inch baking pan. 
In a large bowl, stir together flour and brown sugar. 
Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (do not use a mixer as it gets too gooey). 
Add egg and mix well. 
Stir in 1-1/2 cups chocolate chips and the nuts. 
Save 1-1/2 cups of the mixture. 
Press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom of prepared pan. 
Bake 10 minutes. 
Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over hot crust and top with 1-1/2 cups toffee bits. 
Sprinkle saved crumb mixture and remaining 1/2 cup chips over the top. 
Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup toffee bits. 
Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. 
Cut into bars--makes about 48 bars.
